Nice review. Is the ring a one off purchase or do you need a subscription? The Balance is usually around the same price as the Garmin Vivoactive 5 which is great for accuracy, longevity of support, health & fitness features... However, the Amazifit Balance is on sale for around $160 (Balance 2 release must be imminent!). I've been happy with Amazifit trackers in the past, though moved to a Xiaomi Band 9 (which is fantastic with the right watch strap. I've also enjoyed using an Apple watch 6 with my android phone for the past few years (yes you can use both if you know how). And I've absolutely loved my Garmin watches. It's great to have options!
I got my first Wear OS smartwatch the other day, the Oppo Watch X. So disappointed by it, was shocked it doesn't even support a proprietary way to transfer and play music on the watch, I have to use clunky and slow third party apps. And doesn't have a lot more of user friendly features that are hard to lose once you're accostumed with them. Returning it this week and going back with Amazfit with this balance. My only worry is that it's 1 year old, do you think a new model will be released soon and so I should wait for it?
My balance arrived today. Switched back to Amazfit after TicWatch 3 PRO. Ticwatch died hours before package arrival, burning hole in screen from inside. That sums my experience with it. At the other hand i still have first Amazfit Pace, not a single issue to this day.
Does it have smart alarm, the feature that wakes you up around your alarm a little early before you fall into a groggier stage of your sleep cycle? This function has been on fitness trackers for years and is amazing
I have been wearing this watch for 6 months now. After a while, I stopped using all the fancy features and mostly use it to tell time and steps. The 2 week battery time is not accurate in that scenario. I typically charge on 3-4 WEEKs!
Does this watch have Spotify and payments NFC and what about responding to WhatsApp messages those three things are a must for many Smartwatch users today
Yes to all three, the normal media controller can control media on your phone, including Spotify. Remotify is a app you can download that gives control of Spotify like selecting different playlist etc. NFC payment is fine in Europe not sure of the US. Need to use curve though. Recent update means you can respond to WhatsApp messages with a new keyboard rather than predefined responses
I have had the Balance for a year now I bought it when it first came out and i absolutely love it unfortunately the NFC doesn't work in the US but it's not Amazfit's fault because it's US that doesn't allow NFC because it's a Chinese watch in Europe and other countries the NFC works. You can get Spotify by downloading an app on the watch. The sensors have gotten very good with all the updates they put out over the year I have had it. When I first got the watch the sleep sensor was horrible but now it's extremely accurate after 3 or 4 updates over the year. I am amazed that even if I take a 5min nap at work on my lunch break it shows it.
My brother did not want spend money for garmin . Bought this , own it 4months ( in reality maybe 2 ) It was perfect watch . Until he start jumping on jump rope . Screen stopped working , digitizer or any problem . He waited 1 month for a new piece because they were under warranty. Second time BT modul stop working , another one month without watch . He get second new one . And last time he was swimming in 50m pool . The watch began to overheat. It simply flooded with water. This time his complaint was not recognized and he could throw away the watch and lost 250€ . It's not always worth buying cheap shit, even if it looks like the best in the world on the reviews. Now he has FR965 and is satisfied.
@@TausifHussain battery life on both is amazing. 10 days plus on the watch fit 3 and I'm currently using the gt5 pro, I'm on my first full charge and all monitoring on along with always on display and I'm 3 days in and at 91%
Returned it after a day because it didn't upload MP3s. Absolute annoying to use. Even if it works (like on the Amazfit Cheetah) you can't leave the upload screen! So you can't use your phone while it uploads the MP3s! 😮 Even a 140€ Huawei Fit 3 can upload MP3s in the background.
You are killing me….. I was just watching your Apple Watch video and was about to pull the trigger on a new watch and now I say this and want this watch instead… you are killing me, please don’t start selling Horses, I don’t have any room for them!!
@TausifHussain There is enough other, non Chinese tech, if you consciously try to avoid it (as I do). Doesn't always work, I admit, but most of the time it does. In terms of smartwatches, there's Garmin, Apple, Samsung and Polar. Smartphones: Samsung, Apple, Nokia, HMD.. . Clothing: Jack and Jones, Lyle and scott, Floris van Bommel, etc... I mean, there is enough...

How's the experience so far with the balance? @@arkadiuszzielenkiewicz5566
Thank you for a very informative review. Could you tell me if the haptics are good?
What about the Sensors? Heart Rate, Oxygen and specially STRESS?
Does it have smart alarm, the feature that wakes you up around your alarm a little early before you fall into a groggier stage of your sleep cycle? This function has been on fitness trackers for years and is amazing
What about answer notifications directly on the watch with iPhone?? Is it possible?
Nope, limitation from iOS.
Bit to reply but you can send as a new email/message.
Nice one! Amazfit is definitely underrated. I've been rocking the GTR4 for 2 years and it's been solid.
Oh no way nice. Yeah good brand good products so far!
Last update broke Gtr4 for me, voice assistant looping or stopping and auto workout tracker not working properly
Can we add any android app in it ?
Still rocking my Mi Band 4.
Okkkk
Hi, do you know it Amazfit is planning a new Balance ? Thanks
Why does it look like you’re wearing it on your wrist bone or is the sensor just adds an unusual height to the watches total thickness?
My wrists are just weird lmao. And I have a big bone sticking out on my wrist lol
I have been wearing this watch for 6 months now. After a while, I stopped using all the fancy features and mostly use it to tell time and steps.
The 2 week battery time is not accurate in that scenario. I typically charge on 3-4 WEEKs!

amazfit looks amazing and the battery life is insane
I’m great how are you sir. Thanks for watching!!

@@zac99991 wow, thanks for the detail - may decide to keep it now! No NFC in Canada yet :(
It has mp3 storage but not spotify playlists

Hey, if you don't mind, one month later, how do you see it? :)
Does it work with ringconn?
They have their own ring called Helio which syncs with their app
Bro u use the z flip 6 ? How was the experience ? Thx
Video coming up on it this week
how any hertz is the display?
@@PeppeTricker96 60
Huawei watch fit 3 ticks a lot of boxes if you prefer the squarer shape, if you want the step up from here then Huawei watch fit 5/5 pro
How’s the battery life on those

Make a review for ring.
So does it have ECG and Blood Pressure measurement?
No ecg, but blood oxygen yes. Also blood pressure it should be able to do as well.
Nfc?
Does it have ECG?
No
Amzafit Balance > the best watch on market .
If the GPS was good, I would've gotten it. Sadly i prefer sport watches
GPS is super
@MassiRPM not as accurate as sport watches though
I suppose you could have this for daily use and a more accurate one for workouts? Not sure how practical that is but could work

It's Chinese... So, no thanks.
lol you must not be using most tech, or clothing, or pretty much anything.

@@roelvaneyken211suunto, Nokia is kinda dead 😊 but yeah i better use this than Apple Watch and I am Apple fan
@emka9537 Nokia is not yet dead (not yet...). And Suunto is Chinese as well... So same reaction as with the Coros.
